Weighted cable cap

Abstract

A weighted cable cap, comprising a cable cap provided on one end thereof with a hole-W for inserting an outer casing, having a bottom, and on the other end thereof with a hole-X for inserting an inner cable; the hole-X being perforated through the bottom so that the hole-W and hole-X are concentrically located each other; and a weight having a hole-Y for inserting the outer casing and being fixed on one end of the cable cap so that the hole-W and hole-Y are concentrically located each other, whereby vibration transmitted to the control cable from external is favorably prevented.

What I claim is: 
     
       1. A weighted cable cap in combination with a control cable which includes an outer casing and an inner cable therein, said weighted cable cap comprising (A) a cable cap provided on one end thereof with a hole-W for inserting the outer casing, said hole-W having a bottom, and on the other end thereof with a hole-X for inserting the inner cable; said hole-X being perforated through said bottom so that said hole-W and hole-X are concentrically located with respect to each other, said cable cap being molded onto said outer casing; and   (B) a weight having a hole-Y for inserting said outer casing and having means for fixing said weight onto one end of said cable cap so that said hole-W and hole-Y are concentrically located with respect to each other.   
     
     
       2. The weighted cable cap of claim 1, wherein said weight is made of lead metal or a lead alloy. 
     
     
       3. The weighted cable cap of claim 1, wherein a hole-Z for snugly inserting one end of the cable cap is formed on one end of said weight. 
     
     
       4. The weighted cable cap of claim 3, wherein a portion of hole-Z has an enlarged inside diameter. 
     
     
       5. The weighted cable cap of claim 3, wherein the outer surface of the cap has a flange having a surface engaging said means for fixing. 
     
     
       6. The weighted cable cap of claim 3, wherein an O-ring fitted to an outer surface of said outer casing is set on a bottom of said hole-Z. 
     
     
       7. The weighted cable cap of claim 1, wherein the inside diameter of said hole-Y is substantially equal to the outside diameter of said outer casing in at least certain area of the hole-Y. 
     
     
       8. The weighted cable cap of claim 7, wherein the inside diameter of said hole-Y gradually expands in a conical manner from said area of the hole-Y to the other end of the weight.
